Restricting ourselves to US elections, perhaps going back to 1960, someone who voted Clennon King - Goldwater - Humphrey - Schmitz - McCarthy - Commoner - LaRouche - Bush - Clinton - Perot - Nader - Bush - Keyes - Stein - McMullin.

In fact, I think anyone who picked the major party loser in each of the last 4 elections (Kerry, McCain, Romney, Clinton) would be rather unusual.

Landon - Stevenson (either time) - Goldwater is probably rare as well.

Bill Clinton, maybe?
I seriously doubt it. In addition to being one of the most gifted politicians of our time, he also strikes me as a loyal Democrat; I find it hard to imagine him ever voting Republican even in a local race, let alone "pulling a McGovern" (McGovern voted Ford in '76).

I could imagine Bill did vote McCain in 2008. But not in 2012 at all. He wouldn't have given such a tremendous support speech for Obama at the convention.
I'm curious.... why?
